I found a quite interesting new platform at https://vinylvault.veritopa.com/ . You can build your vinyl records collection archives like https://vinylvault.veritopa.com/share/1/1 (this is not my own collection but a collection of my friend) just by taking photos of album covers with your smartphone. I was told it was AI driven; i.e., all automatic. I have not started using it yet but will build my collection very soon.

A Happy New Year, everybody :)

Just in case anyone is looking for a competition: https://www.fmcontest.com/

I would like to congratulate Mr. Rei Narita, a member of M2D (https://www.music2deal.com/jp/S3-tTz-UXe35dglq582uH1nzlKk/songs#18826), to hit the No. 1 in the Amazon Japan Bestsellers ranking (https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/bestsellers/music/569356) with his album, Color of Soundscape (https://www.amazon.co.jp/Color-Soundscape-成田玲/dp/B004NNEYW0/) a while ago (it is still at No. 9 in the ranking).

While ago, I created a group focused onto Japan and/or Japanese music industory. If you have questions or have anything to say about Japan, please join and post them in a forum (if you want me to create a new forum within the group, please let me know). https://www.music2deal.com/group/administration/Japan
